FGS Members Will Gain Access to an Affordable Solution for
Programming Directors: Genealogy Gems for Societies
NEW Member Benefit!
Today we are proud to announce our partnership with Genealogy Gems which will bring a convenient solution to society
programming directors — Genealogy Gems for Societies — a national-level programming package that
provides an even more affordable benefit to FGS Members.
Watch an example of just one of the types of videos available with the Genealogy Gems for Societies subscription:
This exciting new
benefit provides a 25% discount on a complete 1-year package of Genealogy Gems for Societies
subscription as well as a 10% discount for each FGS Member Society's member on Lisa’s best-selling book, The Genealogist’s Google Toolbox, Second
Edition. FGS Members can access this exciting new benefit by logging in to
the Members-only Area on FGS.org for their exclusive 25% off discount code.
"FGS is
excited to be partnering with Genealogy Gems,” says D. Joshua Taylor, FGS
President. “The opportunity to provide educational benefits for our member
societies enriches the entire genealogical community as societies adapt and
grow to meet the needs of today's members. This partnership offers FGS members
access to a wide range of resources for their members and we look forward to
working with Lisa Louise Cooke."
Providing societies
a cost-effective way to deliver quality family history video presentations at
regular meetings by internationally renowned speaker Lisa Louise Cooke takes
the headache out of programming.

"Having
served on the program committee of my local genealogy society in the past, I
completely understand the challenges they face,” says Lisa Louise Cooke,
founder and owner of Genealogy Gems. “There are a limited number of quality
speakers in any given geographical area, and it can be expensive to bring in
speakers from out of town. We created Genealogy Gems for Societiesto help solve that challenge. We're
excited to partner with FGS because they see the value in this service and we
share the same commitment to supporting local societies. This is a new concept
in genealogy programming, and we are here to help you every step of the
way."
Additionally, Lisa
will be presenting a live webinar as part of the 2015
FGS Webinar Series for societies later this month. The webinar — Utilize the Power of Video for Your
Society’s Programming and Marketing Efforts — will be recorded and available
afterwards to FGS Members only. Stay tuned right here to The Voice blog for further details on how to register
for it.
